2 Pastor’s Letter

DO NOT BE AFRAID In today’s gospel, Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James and John. They’re experiencing a theophany—an encounter with the divine.

At first, they try to take it all in. But when they hear the voice from the cloud telling them to listen to Jesus, it’s too much. Matthew tells us at that point, they fell on the ground and hid their faces. “They were very much afraid.” (Mt 17:6) Fear is a complex emotion. For some, it has a way of crippling us; for others, it moves us to action. Whatever the reaction, it draws us inward. There are a lot of things in our lives these days that can make us afraid—fear of getting sick, fear of being harmed, fear of the future, fear of our financial security, and the list goes on. These are tense times. One of the best things we can do when we find ourselves afraid of the unknown is to put ourselves in God’s hands—because He’s there. It can help, because we see what happened to Peter, James and John in the gospel. On that mountain top, when Jesus saw their fear, he touched them, and said the words we long to hear; “Do not be afraid.” With their faces hidden, they couldn’t see him, but they could feel him. He was present to them, and that calmed them enough to pull themselves up and go with Jesus down the mountain, and back into life. They were open to someone outside of themselves. One of the things we can do in times of fear is to come to Mass, because God is present to us. We listen to His words that can calm us. And here, we know he touches us because we receive the Eucharist. With Him in our very being, we find the courage to go back into our everyday lives—not alone, but with Him. Trusting that Christ is there with us, looking out for us, is one of the things that can help us cope with fear. I think that’s why in times when I’m afraid or feeling uncertain, I find myself repeating Paul’s words that helped him during difficult times: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil 4:13) It reminds me that I’m not alone. Jesus is telling me, “Don’t be afraid. Let’s go forward.” —Fr. Mike

PLEASING TO GOD:

60 YEARS OF PRAYER

We begin our celebration of 60 years as a parish with a special day of prayer. Please join us Wednesday, March 18, anytime between noon and midnight, to pray for our parish in front of the Blessed Sacrament. The Eucharist is the center of our faith and our spiritual lives. It’s what has drawn our parish together day after day, week after week. We’re held by Christ, who strengthens us, and has blessed our parish in many, many ways. We have a vibrant community that prays so well together. Time and again, visitors tell me they feel very welcome and at home here. They find themselves able to pray, sing and appreciate the experience of Church. We build each other up by offering programs to help enrich our faith and by doing generous acts of charity. We have a heart for the hungry, the poor, the jobless, and the vulnerable. We have a reputation for being a parish that helps others. And so, what greater expression to give thanks to God than to drop by sometime during the day to say a prayer of gratitude for the parish we love and call home, and…to pray for our future. Please come and pray with us!

Pray for...

A parishioner, Patrick Fleming, has offered to repair broken rosaries. There will be drop off receptacles at the ministry station in the narthex, and rosaries can be dropped off there. (The Ministry Station is the large brown cabinet by the main entrance on the South side of the church. There are slots on the left side of the station, and the receptacle for Rosary drop off is marked.) Patrick suggests putting any rosary to be repaired in an envelope with your name and phone number on it for return purposes. When repaired, we will call you to let you know you can pick it up.

Please donate any unused, broken rosaries so that their parts can be used to repair member’s rosaries.

In addition to repairing rosaries, Patrick makes rosaries for the missions, and he also accepts any rosaries people wish to donate. Those can also be dropped off in the narthex in the receptacle marked “Rosaries.”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Info & Resources

The Archdiocese of Chicago is closely monitoring the news regarding Coronavirus/COVID-19 and actively planning for any potential circumstances. We are adhering to all guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Below are guidelines regarding liturgical considerations based on those established by the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship. It is to be implemented in all parishes within the Archdiocese of Chicago immediately until further notice. Conditions and best practices can change, so we will keep you posted.

Liturgical Celebrations

Continuing with our current practice, all Priests, Deacons, Altar Servers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must wash their hands before Mass begins and use an alcohol based anti-bacterial solution before and after distributing Holy Communion. (This has been a long standing practice at St. Hubert) Mass Coordinators will continue our standard practice of ensuring all vessels used at Mass, once purified, are thoroughly washed with soap and hot water after each use. During all Masses and liturgies everyone should:

Refrain from physical contact during the Sign of Peace (note: the Sign of Peace can be exchanged without physical contact)

Refrain from distribution of Holy Communion via the chalice (except the priest who must consume)

Given the frequency of direct contact with saliva in the distribution of Holy Communion on the tongue, individuals are highly encouraged to receive Holy Communion reverently in open hands for the time being.

Refrain from holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer.

Refrain from using Holy Water fonts. Please note that at St. Hubert, our font has a flowing stream of water so that it doesn’t remain stagnant and has a UV light purification system.

If you or are experiencing symptoms of sickness, you are not obliged to attend Mass.

The Church allows for you to miss Mass for serious reasons, like illness. See Catechism 2181. We will distribute additional hand sanitizers at the entrances of and throughout the Pastoral Centers, and we will make anti-bacterial wipes available in all conference rooms and lunchrooms. We respectfully request that everyone use these regularly. We advise parishes, schools and agencies of the archdiocese take similar precautions for their workspaces. For general information from the CDC for individual preventive measures, travel guidelines and links to the public health information sources, please go to our website, www.sainthubert.org. Please pray that all those involved in identifying a vaccine are given wisdom, those caring for the sick are provided strength, and those suffering from this illness are granted relief.

GOSPEL MEDITATION: ENCOURAGING DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

2nd

Sunday of Lent

Psychology has taught us a great deal about family dynamics and how we have come to be the person we find ourselves to be. We are comprised of such a mixed bag of blessings and obstacles with their graced moments and sinful ones. Think back on the journey of your life and how the many different and varied choices that you made influenced the direction your life. If you didn’t go on that first date with your spouse, who would be beside you today? If you chose to be in one place rather than another, what would have happened to the course your life has taken? We are on such a wonderful, exciting journey. What is most incredible and awesome is that we are not alone! God is with us. He inspires, heals, opens doors, and calls us every moment of our lives. The very life we have is due only to Him.

We can all sit down and list adjectives describing who we are. One may find him or herself more artistic than another or quicker with wit. We have unique gifts and talents and have the great gift of free will, which we treasure. Our histories come with more baggage for some and less hurdles for others, but we all have to find our way through the path we are on. However, have you ever given much thought to who you really

are? That question has more merit than may at first appear.

We know ourselves as we live out our earthly journey. But do we know our heavenly self? What we know here is only one small part of who God has made us to be. The disciples really thought they knew Jesus until they went up the mountain. We also may think we know our true selves, too. We know that in eternal life we shall not only see God, but become like Him. Who will you be? What surprise do you think God has for you?

Pray 7

Peace to Those Who Enjoy God’s Favor by Ron Rolheiser, O.M.I.

At one point in her novel, Men and Angels, Mary Gordon describes a young mother who, each day has a little ritual as she waits for her children to come home from school. She sets a chair by the window so she can lean on it. In that way she can see her children as they run up to the house but she can also use the chair to steady herself. For indeed, some days, she needs it because when she sees her children running up to the house, with their coats undone and with their books and back-packs flying all about, she is so overcome with love, so overwhelmed with the need to protect, that she feels her heart is about to erupt and she gets weak and needs something to lean on to keep her balance.

That picture can serve as an icon for it is an image of how God loves us. God is looking at us in just that way right now. Why do I say that? Because this is what scripture reveals.

When the angels announce Jesus’ birth, they say this: “Glory to God in the highest and peace to those on earth who enjoy God’s favor.” (Luke 2, 14) The last part of that sentence might more accurately be translated like this, “and peace to those who receive God’s pleasure, who realize that God takes pleasure in them.” Given Mary Gordon’s image, we might paraphrase this to read: “Life will come to those who realize that God, when he looks at us, is so overcome with tenderness that he needs a celestial chair with which to steady himself.”

That is an incredible belief, but it is part of the essence of our creed. To say that we believe in God, as Jesus revealed God, is to believe that God takes pleasure in loving us, that it gives God delight to be our parent, and that God takes joy in continually offering us forgiveness and love. To believe that God sees us in this way is to make an act of faith in the God that Jesus revealed. Moreover, what is important is that we draw life from believing this. How? How does the realization that God takes pleasure in loving us give us life? We see the illustration in Jesus himself.

When Jesus’ head emerged from the waters of the Jordan as he is being baptized by John, the gospels say the skies opened and a voice from heaven said: “You are my beloved son, in you I take delight.” In many ways, this was the turning point in Jesus’ life. Prior to this, he had lived his “hidden life”; hidden not just in that his years of anonymity in Nazareth opposed his public life, but hidden especially in that, until hearing those words, Jesus’ real identity was as hidden from him. Now, with these words searing his soul and circumcising his heart, Jesus knows his true identity. He is the beloved child who gives God pleasure. From that realization, that he so enjoys God’s favor, he draws his stability, his unique capacity for altruism, his exceptional courage, and that deep joy that nobody and no event can ever take away from him. Jesus knows that he gives God pleasure and from that he draws his life.

Mary Gordon’s description of the young mother contains essentially the same idea: Imagine if these children could ever appropriate what that mother feels when seeing them. If they could ever really accept this, they would draw from it an identity, a stability, a capacity for altruism and courage, and a joy that nothing could ever strip them of. If they realized what their presence did for their mother they would then (this is the biblical term) begin to enjoy her favor. From that, life would begin to well up within them for they would know blessing.

Biblically this is what it means to be blessed. You are blessed, receive a blessing, when you draw life from someone else’s pleasure in loving you. As the angels themselves put it at Jesus’ birth: “Peace on earth to those who can receive God’s pleasure.”

But how to believe that? What is so difficult in the act of faith is not to believe that God exists or that the world of spirit is just as real as the physical world or that Jesus rose from the dead. What is harder to believe is that, right now, at this moment, despite everything that suggests that we are unworthy and despite all sin and infidelity, God is looking at us in the exact same way as the young mother Mary Gordon describes looked at her children – with a heart so full of tenderness and pleasure that He/She feels dizzy and must lean on some celestial chair for support. Such is God’s pleasure in loving us. Such is what Jesus revealed. If we could ever accept that we would begin to understand more exactly what the angels meant when the announced Jesus’ birth.

The purpose of Lent is to be a season of fasting, self-denial, spiritual growth, conversion, and simplicity. Lent, which comes from the Teutonic word for springtime, can be viewed as a spiritual spring cleaning: a time for taking a spiritual inventory and then cleaning out those things which hinder our personal relationships with Jesus Christ and our service to him.

We invite you to join us for this spirit-filled evening of prayer, song, and silence; to reflect upon our own Lenten calling for prayer, fasting, abstinence, and almsgiving. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your personal relationship with the Lord.

RCIA: FACING EVIL – IN THE POWER OF JESUS

A casual glance at the daily newspaper reminds us of the powers of evil at work around us: contempt for the poor and homeless; terrorism and warfare; division and conflict within families; substance abuse; exclusion of women and of minorities in society and even in the church; abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment; infidelity; deceit.

During Lent we are called to a keener awareness of the evils that stake their claim in our own lives. For the elect (those preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), Lent is a period of “purification and enlightenment.” During this season, they come face to face with the powers of evil around them and within them. They are asked where they encounter obstacles that seek to keep them from the way of Christ.

Lent is also a time for the whole community to reflect on our baptismal call and join the elect in this conversion journey. With them, we ponder the power of sin in the world around us, in our own lives, and the need for God’s help.

The Scrutinies will be celebrated at the following Masses: On the 3rd Sunday of Lent at the 10:45 AM Mass, On the 4th Sunday of Lent at the 12:15 PM Mass On the 5th Sunday of Lent at the 9:00 AM Mass

At these Masses you will hear the gospel readings from the Lectionary (Cycle A) First Scrutiny—The Gospel story of the Samaritan woman a the well.

Second Scrutiny—The Gospel story of the healing of the man born blind. Third Scrutiny—The Gospel story of the raising of Lazarus.

The Scrutinies are the primary ritual celebrations of the Lenten preparation of the elect. Designed to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective or sinful in the hearts of the elect, and to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong and good, the Scrutinies are directed to the conversion of the whole person. In these rites, the elect and we, the community of the faithful, are invited – in the midst of the sin that lurks around us and within us – to look to Christ Jesus as our Savior. The Scrutinies build on one another. They ask the elect (and us) what are our deepest thirsts, our areas of blindness, our places of death. They call us to place our faith in Christ as the way to forgiveness, healing and freedom.

Through the solemn laying on of hands by the presider and the community, we invoke the power of the Holy Spirit, so that the elect may be transformed and recreated.

Please feel free to take a sheet from the RCIA kiosk in the narthex with their photo with their names. Pray for one or all of them during this Lenten season. We also encourage you to

write a note to them and place it in the box on the kiosk.

Standing in prayer with those in the RCIA is a privilege and responsibility to the parish community. Just as the apostles were vital to the building and growth of the Church, parishioners are vital to the process in

forming our new Catholics. You are the face of the Church, and you represent the parish community in a very special way.

If you are present at the Scrutiny liturgies, please take part by laying your hands on the head of the Elect and praying over them. This ancient symbol of forgiveness, healing and empowerment speaks the truth that the Church is a reconciling community. It is also a humble gesture for us, for we, too,

acknowledge that we need to be reconciled. We are not remade by our own efforts, but by the power of the Spirit to whom we open ourselves as we pray for these elect.

JOIN US FOR EASTER CLEANING The Stewards for St. Hubert will be coordinating

the Annual Easter Cleaning of the Church on Saturday, April 4

th 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM.

We will be working in the narthex and the main church cleaning the pews, windows, vacuuming out the dust bunnies, and many other projects. Anyone over 13 is welcome to attend. Come for an hour or for the entire time. Meet a few new people and feel like you've gotten a little something done for the Parish. We need rags, shop vacs with long extensions and extendable dusters. We have plenty of liquid and spray cleaning supplies. There is a sign up sheet on the kiosk in the narthex or you can contact Gerry Lindahl at [email protected].

The St. Hubert Respect Life Ministry has made copies of an Illinois Right to Life voter’s guide available in the narthex for those of you who find it helpful. It offers a rating for each candidate on life issues.
